——The heyday of the former Qin Dynasty As the ruler of a minority ethnic group, Fu Jian loved to hunt for sex. For a period of time, he straddled his horse and held a bow to chase wild animals in the Western Mountains. He did not return to the palace for ten and a half months. If you make a mistake, what will the Queen Mother do, and what will the world do?" Fu Jian was enlightened, and since then he has stopped hunting for pleasure. In his spare time, he frequently visits Taixue in person, gives exam questions to Taixue students, and pays attention to Confucianism.And pagoda tree willows were widely planted beside the roads of Zhuzhou in Chang'an, with a pavilion in twenty miles and a post in forty miles, where traders gathered and the people enjoyed their work.

In terms of military affairs, Fu Jian defeated Yang Liang, the governor of Liangzhou in the state of Jin, defeated the rebellion of Zhang Yu and others from Shu, and sent 130,000 troops to attack Zhang Tianxi. Zhang's former Liang regime began with Zhang Gui.Zhang Gui, the seventeenth grandson of Zhang Er, king of Zhongshan in the Han Dynasty, was born in Anding Wuzhi (now Pingliang, Gansu Province).During the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, Zhang Gui served as an official Sanqi regular servant in Luoyang.Seeing that the internal enemy was about to rise, he took the opportunity to develop in the northwest and was appointed governor of Liangzhou.Zhang Guiqiancai defeated the Xianbei Ruoluoba tribe in 305 AD and captured more than 100,000 people.After the fall of Luoyang, Zhang Gui remained loyal to the Jin court and sent 3,000 soldiers to defend Chang'an during the reign of Emperor Min of Jin.

Zhang Gui died of illness in 314, and his son Zhang Shi took over the throne.Six years later, Zhang Shi was assassinated by Yan Sha and others who believed in a cult, and his younger brother Zhang Mao was in charge of the government. In 323, the former Emperor Zhao Liu Yao commanded an army of 300,000 troops to attack Liangzhou in person, but in the end he did not get any advantages. Zhang Mao only "claimed the vassal" to Liu Yao in name. In 324, Zhang Mao died of illness, and Zhang Shi's son, Zhang Jun, succeeded him as Liangzhou Mu and Xiping Gong.During Zhang Jun's reign, the former Zhao was defeated by the Later Zhao. Zhang Jun "had all the land in Longxi" and his military strength was strong. Many countries in the Western Regions paid tribute one after another. Surplus products".

In 346, Zhang Jun died of illness, and his son Zhang Chonghua succeeded him at the age of sixteen.Later, Zhao Shihu wanted to take advantage of people's mourning to attack, but he was defeated in Fanghan (now Linxia, ​​Gansu), and lost tens of thousands of soldiers.In a rage, Shi Hu ordered the former guards of the East Palace who had been dispatched to Liangzhou for reinforcements. An uprising by Liang Du and others broke out on the way, causing a chain reaction in the country.Because of this great victory, the officials of the former Liang Dynasty promoted Zhang Chonghua as "the prime minister, the king of Liang, and the shepherd of the three states of Liang and Qin".At this time, it was the most prosperous period of Qianliang, "over the river and Huang in the south, Qin and Long in the east, Congling in the west, and Juyan in the north".

In 353, Zhang Chonghua died of illness at the age of twenty-seven.His son Zhang Yaoling was only ten years old and succeeded him.Zhang Chonghua's concubine brother (his father and concubine gave birth to a son) Zhang Zuo assisted the government, and first had an affair with Zhang Chonghua's biological mother Ma.After the old lady was happy, she ordered her grandson Zhang Yaoling to be abolished, and her son and new lover Zhang Zuo would be the lord of Liangzhou.Zhang Zuo sent someone to strangle his ten-year-old nephew and bury him in a sandpit. Zhang Zuo was "erudite and powerful, and talented in political affairs", but he was extremely obscene and cruel.After committing adultery with Mrs. Ma, he put Zhang Chonghua's wife, Mrs. Pei, on the bed and defiled his younger brother's concubines. The niece was not spared either, committing obscenity, and raped all three generations of women of Zhang Chonghua's younger brother (Chonghua's mother Ma, Chonghua's wife Pei, and Chonghua's youngest daughter).

After three years of violence, Zhang Guan, a member of the Zhang family, raised troops from Fanghan, killed Zhang Zuo, and supported Zhang Chonghua's other youngest son, Zhang Xuanliang, as the king of Liang.Brother Zhang Guan was about to usurp the throne again soon, and was attacked and killed by the brother Song Hun, the general of Fuguo.Without going out of the way, the Song brothers continued to be domineering, and Zhang Yong, the patriarch of the Zhang family, raised troops to wipe out the Song family again, and "assisted the government" with Zhang Chonghua's younger brother Zhang Tianxi.Soon, Zhang Tianxi killed Zhang Yong again, and assassinated his fourteen-year-old nephew Zhang Xuanliang in 363, making himself the lord of Liangzhou.

After Zhang Tianxi succeeded to the throne, he was neglected in political affairs, officials were corrupt and disabled, and natural and man-made disasters continued one after another.It was in this situation that Fu Jian sent a large army to attack, winning all the battles.Under embarrassment, Zhang Tianxi had to surrender. After returning to Chang'an, he was granted the title of Marquis of Guiyi by the former Qin Dynasty and lived in a magnificent mansion.So far, Qianliang has been handed down for nine generations since Zhang Gui, seventy-six years.Because Qianliang has always regarded the Jin Dynasty as Zhengshuo and never proclaimed himself emperor, the "Book of Jin" did not classify the Zhang family of Qianliang as a biography of "alleged" monarchs.

Later, Fu Jian was defeated in the Battle of Feishui, and Zhang Tianxi, who accompanied the army, also "returned to the country in battle".The former Liangzhu "has few literary talents, and he is good at far and near", and the Jin court named him Doctor Jinzi Guanglu.But court scholars all thought that this person was "a broken country and a prisoner", and no one thought highly of him.Sima Daozi, the king of Kuaiji, once asked him what products there were in Liangzhou. Zhang Tianxi replied: "Mulberries are sweet, owls make the sound of leather, cheese nourishes one's nature, and people have no jealousy." It is very decent.Later, Zhang Tianxi became more and more impoverished. Sima Yuanxian, the son of Sima Daozi, often called him to banquets as a joke.When Huanxuan usurped the throne, he "wanted to recruit Huai from far and wide", and worshiped Zhang Tianxi as the governor of Liangzhou.Within a few days, Zhang Tianxi died of illness at home.As the former lord of Liang, his fate was not too bad.

After Qianliang was destroyed, the great hero Fu Jian sent another 100,000 troops to attack the Dai Wang Shi Yijian. The troops were so powerful that the Dai Wang was finally betrayed by his son.The country perishes. Fu Jian never killed the kings and ministers of subjugated countries. Instead, he treated them as eunuchs in a mansion in Chang'an.However, he hated the unfaithful and unrighteous people the most, and immediately ordered that the unfilial and unkind prince Tuoba Shi, who was the acting prince who begged his father to surrender, be torn apart.He also personally taught the tribal leaders who belonged to him to use Confucian etiquette.

The countries in the Western Regions heard about Fu Jian's mighty virtue, and they continued to pay tribute. For a time, more than 500 rare items from the Western Regions, such as Dawan's Chollima, filled the treasury of the Qin State. In the fourth year of Taiyuan, Fu Jian's army captured Xiangyang of the Jin Dynasty and captured Zhonglang general Zhu Xu.After being escorted to Chang'an, Zhu Xu was named Duzhi Shangshu by Fu Jian.During this period, Fu Jian's cousin, Fu Luo, rebelled and mobilized his troops. In the end, Fu Luo and his general were captured in the capital, but Fu Jian did not kill them, but just let them become officials in different places.

The kingdoms were pacified and the territory expanded greatly.As the state of Qin became stronger, Fu Jian couldn't help showing off his extravagance. He hung curtains made of pearls in the palace, and the palace carriages, utensils and clothes were all decorated with rare treasures.Shang Shulang Pei Yuanlue made an admonition, taking the historical fact that Qin Shihuang was extravagant and eager to eventually perish as an example, and persuaded Fu Jian to despise gold and jade, cherish grain and silk, and cherish the power of the people.Fu Jian was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the bead curtains to be removed, and Pei Yuanlue was appointed as an admonishing doctor. Under the rule of Fu Jian, the country was vast, and he wanted to imitate the Zhou Dynasty and divide the princes into feudal lords, so he divided the surnames of the royal family into the surnames of Fu and 3,000 households close to the nobles and divided them into four directions.On the day of parting, the relatives of the royal family wailed and mourned, and felt sad for the passers-by. People with knowledge at the time privately believed that this was a sign of chaos and displacement.In the capital Chang'an, Fu Jian placed tens of thousands of Xianbei and Qiang households who were captured by the extermination of the Yan dynasty, and gave them mansions for high-ranking officials.Fu Jian's minister Zhao Zheng once served a banquet, playing the qin and singing: "Adezhi, Adezhi, the people who migrated far away to stay in Xianbei, once you speak to someone in a hurry!" Fu Jian heard the meaning of the advice and laughed. Instead of accepting.
